Decorative moss is the most unpretentious plant
The only plant that can be found on any continent, even in Antarctica, is moss. Unlike other representatives of the flora, it does not have roots, flowers, stems, it first appears on sections of uninhabited soil, it can be seen not only on the tree trunk part, but also on the stones. Any variety of mosses and lichens perfectly retain moisture, as a result they play a major role in regulating water balance and slow down the process of soil erosion.
Due to its appearance , the decorative moss for the garden is very widely used by designers in the formation of various landscape areas. In Japan decorative moss is used as an obligatory element in creating a bonsai style. Many owners of land allocate a small part of the territory to the lawn. For those who want to have a beautiful platform with vegetation of deep emerald color, but is not tuned to work related to the sowing of grass and the subsequent care of it (which includes the processes of watering, mowing, weeding, harvesting), decorative moss may alternatively be used.
Any kind of this plant, whether wild or decorative moss, quickly takes root on the stones, so it is often used as an element of a general ensemble when creating a rock garden or in a Japanese garden. If a small area is supposed to be created on the site, on which some kind of moss will grow, then to speed up the process it is necessary to release the selected
We must try to avoid the appearance of air gaps between the plant and the soil. Lack of adhesion can cause moss death due to drying out. If desired, you can use the fertilizer, which is used for breeding and growing rhododendrons, but the use of fertilizer with ferrous sulfate should be forgotten - decorative moss for the garden is very poorly tolerated. The plant does not like too smooth surfaces, it is more comfortable in areas with complex terrain.
The main thing that the owner of the lawn, covered with a carpet of moss, should provide is a shadow and a sufficient amount of moisture. At the first stage, the plant should be watered regularly, but after 4 weeks it will finally settle down on the site and itself will be able to provide itself with the required volume of water. Care for such a lawn is only to harvest the fallen leaves and twigs.
